Wrestlemania, ladders, and The Swanton Bomb.

fans some of the most breathtaking moments in sports entertainment history. Only thing is, Hardy says you haven't seen anything yet.

"Luckily for me, I'm being showcased in my comfort zone, and with ladders at my side, I have a good chance of getting that briefcase," Hardy told me over the phone as he prepares for his Money in the Bank Ladder match in Detroit. "I've talked to Matt a few times, and we'd love to knock everybody out and have the match come down to the two of us. We'd look each other in the eyes and respectfully beat the hell out of each other. May the better brother win."

He's watched the tapes of Shelton Benjamin, RVD, and the rest of the Money in the Bank crew, and his goal this Sunday for Wrestlemania is to top them all.

"Last year I was watching Mania from home, and Matt was in the match, and when Shelton did the springboard and landed on the ladder…so many impressive things that guy did, but one of the first things, one of the first goals I set is to try to top that. I know some of the moves Shelton did are going to be hard to top, especially when he ran up the ladder, but I have a few things up my sleeve that I'm going to try and pull off."

Here's what else the former Will O' the Wisp had to say about Mania, tag teams, and getting speared by Edge in X-7.

IGN Sports: What's your favorite Wrestlemania moment?

Jeff Hardy: Our first Wrestlemania when I climbed to the tip-top of this big ladder and did a Swanton through a table that had Bubba Ray on it. Every now and then you still see that clip, and it's such an unforgettable memory in my mind because you get to do something so cool, you've done it in your backyard before imagining you were in front of a bunch of people, but then to actually do it and see all the flashes, it's very dreamlike. Every time I look back and see that clip, it makes me proud of what I've accomplished.

IGN Sports: The other iconic Wrestlemania moment you were involved in was the TLC match when Edge speared you from up high.

Jeff Hardy: That's another one that's so cool because it's something I saw in my mind, but to bring it to life, that's another one of those clips that I'm proud of, even though I'm on the defense on that one. [laughs]

IGN Sports: You're hanging by the belts and Edge jumps off the ladder. What goes through your mind?

Jeff Hardy: There's not much time to think of anything. It's almost like a car wreck. It's like bam! That was unbelievable, I can't believe that just happened. Once the breath comes back and you can feel your toes move, it's a good payoff when you can live through something like that.

IGN Sports: Did you have a favorite Wrestlemania moment as a fan watching the sport?

Jeff Hardy: I remember Wrestlemania 6 with The Ultimate Warrior against Hulk Hogan. It was so cool to see those guys go in there and the fans getting into the match so much. Warrior got the upset win, but when they hugged at the end and showed respect for one another after all of the buildup of animosity between the two and the fans gave them the standing-O, that was one of the best moments to me. Warrior was always such a weird, methodical type character anyway, but he was coming out of his realm and being human for a moment and hugging Hulk Hogan and hitting him on the back and that's still one of my favorite moments from Wrestlemania. That show of respect.

IGN Sports: You mentioned the fan response to the match and it brings to mind your own fan loyalty. Why do you think you have so many loyal and devoted fans, win or lose, when so many other wrestlers and the crowd reactions tend to fluctuate more based on storyline?

Jeff Hardy: I think it's because if I have the time I take the time to sign every autograph I can after a show. I'll go out of my way when a lot of other guys wouldn't do this. Things like that create so much longevity in your career because that guy or girl you met that night will go home and talk about how cool Jeff Hardy was that night and then that makes their friends want to come out to the show next time you're in town. I've always believed in that, I've always believed in going out of my way and just acting like anyone else in this world. I never put myself on another level and that's done well for me. Just spending time with fans and acting normal and talking to them just like I was one of their boys, that's what it's all about.

IGN Sports: It's like you've built up this grassroots popularity that keeps spreading through word of mouth.

Jeff Hardy: I remember what it was like to see guys on TV and then you see them in person and it's surreal. TV kind of makes you seem a little different and I always remember that and I was always like 'Man, I wish Sting would've been as cool as I was back in the day', he was an asshole. When you try to get an autograph and they ignore you, not necessarily an asshole, but coming across as better than you or something.
